I Hate Tailored Shorts

Whose idea was it to tailor shorts?? Tailored suits, slacks, and shirts all make sense. An over sized suit looks sloppy and unpolished. Over sized shirts brings back nostalgic images of wearing your father's favorite tee. But shorts should remain things of leisure, heat relief, and fun--not bespokemanship. I find tailored shorts as useful as sporks, skorts, or viral uploads of your aging k-9 on Youtube (and far less adorable).

As all men know, the 'gents' get swampy when there is little air circulation. Haven't they suffered enough during the countless board meets, boring lunches, and commuter rides to/from work? Why torment ourselves further during after-hours? The last thing I need are 'the boys' stuck to my leg at a club or bar due to lack of space. And is there a reason these shorts stop mid thigh? I do not want to see any man's thighs after four shots of Patron. This must be punishment by designers or a cruel joke played by women on well intentioned men.

Shorts need to remain athletic, loose, and well manly!! The last guy I saw wearing a pair of tailored shorts was on break from the beauty salon. If that description does not fit you, I'd suggest giving the 'boys' a break, enjoy the summer, and let [your shorts be] loose!!

Official Lookbook Fall 2010

PRESS RELEASE
Official Fall 2010 lookbook photographed by Amanda Lopez

Official's fall 2010 collection combines maturation as a brand with youthful design and aesthetic to create a collection fulfilling our desires of headwear aligned with our fashion sensibilities. A key piece in the collection is the debut of their English driving cap- the cap is finished with a minimal leather embossed label perfectly placed on a herringbone earflap overlapping the brushed flannel crown. This hat combines the "olde" with the "neu" quite eloquently. Snap-back baseball hats such as "The Officials" and "Cali" provide stalwart colorways and design Official is known for since it's brand inception in 2007. Official's only 5 panel camper in this collection should be considered the perfect autumn hat with brushed herringbone and the "Keep It All Official" workware woven label.

The fall collection for Official is available in finer retail locations and on their online store (http://www.theofficialbrand.com) in the first week of September 2010.

Nike Street Fighter Pack!

The complete Street fighter Pack has Arrived! The trio transforms Nike SB's popular models to embody three characters: the P-Rod 4 (Akuma), Dunk low (Chun Li), and strapless Dunk Mid (Ryu).


Chun Li comes in a argon blue suede and nylon upper with white canvas swoosh and gum sole. She (figuratively speaking) has gold accents via stitching, tongue and heel logos.


Ryu has a beige and black canvas upper with suede trimmings, red distressed canvas Swoosh, and red outsole.


Akuma, my personal favorite, is fitted with a dark blue canvas upper, black swoosh and midsole. Akuma’s ‘kanji’ is embroidered on the heel in red stitching.

All three shoes come with two pair of laces and a illustration of their respective character on the insole. It's a good idea to take the insoles out as the artwork is superb.


You can pick them up at Palace 5ive or Elite Boardshop now!

Cool Grey Jordans 11

Icy soles
O.G. sole

The whole 'net is going crazy over this! The 2001 classics are finally coming back! After the space jams being released twice and the blk/red colorway 3 plus times, the folks at Jordan are finally blessing us with a 2010 Holiday release of the Cool Grey 11s! These are my 4th favorite color way of the 11s after the blk/red, OG wht/blk, and DMPs.

The exact release date is still unknown, but is speculated to be November or December. There is also debate of whether it will be release with the original gum sole or an ice blue gum sole. Either way these are must haves!!!

Now how can we get them to retro the TRUE BLUE 3s???
